Understanding, predicting, and adapting to sea level rise
Sea levels are rising, but they are rising at different rates in different places, with differing impacts for coastal communities and ecosystems. To predict and adapt to future sea levels, we need to understand where and why they are rising now and have risen in the past.
Join us for a conversation about the drivers and consequences of rising sea levels—and adaptation strategies to protect lives and livelihoods by making our coastlines and infrastructure more resilient.
SPEAKERS & HOST:
Chris Piecuch
Sea Level Scientist, WHOI
Shannon Hulst
Floodplain Manager, Barnstable County and Woods Hole Sea Grant
Hannah Wagner
Resilience Manager, City of Boston
